The Floridant/10337715

HURST, Texas - Floridant -- American Mensa and the Davidson Institute have announced a collaboration that expands access to Mensa membership opportunities for Davidson Young Scholars.

Through this collaboration, students participating in the Davidson Young Scholars program — approximately 5,000 youth ages 5–18 — will have streamlined access to American Mensa membership opportunities. Young Scholars already meet cognitive benchmarks exceeding Mensa's top 2% qualification standard.

As part of this collaboration, American Mensa will provide:

• A dedicated discount code waiving the $49 Prior Evidence Review fee
• Expedited application processing
• Cross-promoted public youth programming opportunities

Promotion of the collaboration will occur in coordination with the Davidson Institute and will be shared directly with Davidson Young Scholars families through existing communications and collaboration resources.

"We are pleased to collaborate with Mensa to offer these membership benefits to our Young Scholars, supporting their exceptional development through expanded resources and networks," said Megan Cannella, Director of Outreach at the Davidson Institute.

The collaboration formally launched in early March and is designed as a continuing collaboration, including shared communications, programming touchpoints, and joint visibility efforts.
